FINALLY! I just got this letter today. After ten years of being 'rejected,' I finally get to donate again!!! If anyone of ya'll has been deferred (blackballed, tossed out) because of ALT testing, contact you local Red Cross and see if you can give again.

I got one of those about
ten years ago.
Take a couple of Tylenol, for example, a couple of days before you donate, and it can affect these levels adversely...

Any one know the current restrictions for donation? Rumor has it that if you were in the Military in Europe during the '80s they will not accept you as a donor.
True??

I am blackballed but not for that. I can't donate because a few months ago the blood I donated showed Hep C abs in the screening,further testing of my blood showed that it was a false positive.However I must now wait 6 months to be retested by my Doctor before I will be removed from the list.Bummer.
